Is his poo supposed to smell THAT bad??!!

Colubrids in general seem to have worse-smelling poo than boas and pythons. The difference is that their dumps are pretty small and easy to clean up compared to my constrictor snakes.

My 6' boa does poos as big as a small dog lol... Doesn't smell too bad unless it's in his water bowl tbf....

ONE of the downsides of having 24 snakes was that there was always the chance of a little 'odour' now and then :)

In my experience, hognose poop is by far the worst smelling snake poop I've ever had the "pleasure" of smelling. The first time he pooped under my care I honestly thought a neighbor fertilized their lawn with cow manure....and he was only 11 grams back then!! He's the only snake I've ever had that stinks up the room.

My others, I don't smell unless I open the enclosure. My BP stinks, but not like my hognose.

Surprisingly, my experience with Kings and corns is they stink the least.

But bottom line is quite simple...poop stinks.

Alright so when it comes down to it, nothing to really worry about unless it's not a healthy looking stool. Guess I'll stock up on plenty of cleaning materials! Thanks all.
